Those syllables and letters became my executioner. I told myself that, if I didn’t acknowledge the pain and the fear, they would have no power over me. But, as the years passed, the hate and the anger left behind began to control me.

Two words—that was all it took to plunge my life into darkness.

“He’s gone.”

In the end, it was four soft, silky words that gave me hope of another sunrise.

“Hi. I’m Charlotte Mills.”

AUTHOR BIO:

Originally from Savannah, Georgia, USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez now lives in South Carolina with her four young children.

Never one to take herself too seriously, she enjoys cheap wine, mystery leggings, and baked feta. It should be known, however, that she hates pizza and ice cream, almost as much as writing her bio in the third person.

She passes what little free time she has reading anything and everything she can get her hands on, preferably with a super-sized tumbler of wine by her side.

OMG, this book is far the best book I’ve read this year. It
conquered my body, my whole damn existent. I’ve never ever read a book like
this before! It’s a pure, raw emotional roller coaster. It broke my heart into
a million tiny pieces, did a little dance on these pieces, then put it together
just to broke it again. Yet, all I can think about is rereading it. Again and
again.

This book made me cry – what, it was totally ugly crying -,
made my heart beat faster and it absolutely took my breath away.

This is a story you won’t forget. Ever.

Can’t wait to have my hands on the second book. Until then, I’m
going to sit in a corner and reread all over again.
